Agile Product Manager Dilemma

Rich Mironov presented a talk on “The Agile Product Manager/Product Owner Dilemma” at PMEC in San Jose. This generated some lively discussion about how Product Management is different in agile organizations (especially Scrum teams) and the challenges of Product Owners who lack Product Management support or experience.

Rich has championed discussions within the Agile community about the need for product strategy and business-level planning – and how it needs to wrap around the software development process. He is one of very few people bridging the PM and Agile communities.
